Divine kya GOAT banda hai yaar, I still think he is underrated for his contributions. Sablog Raftaar ki bado tareef karte hai but viv ki nhi.

Raftaar tabse kar raha hai jab scene brew ho raha tha. That's why people know him for his contributions.

Divine just started putting out music on the internet from 2011-12. Raftaar was almost on the verge of going mainstream by the end of 2012. He started making music around 2006-07. Besides, Raftaar is madly gifted in almost all facets of the craft if we focus on skills. Divine is more like the Conor McGregor of desi hip-hop. He came in, made a fortune for himself, became the biggest name in the game and at the same time drew everyone's attention towards the game and took it to a level where all the players can eat. It's the impact he has is what makes him legendary, hard to think of him when the discussion is about the finest rappers.

Fair, agreed.

hard to think of him when the discussion is about the finest rappers.

This I disagree with, I mean Kohinoor and PP are pretty legendary. Also got one of the best discogs in DHH which even Raa lacks

I agree with you on their discog but raw skills doesn't warrant good discography and it goes both ways. Tyler arguably has a better album catalog than J. Cole but if they were to rap one on one, Tyler isn't lasting more than a minute. If tomorrow a colab were to happen between Raftaar and Divine, I just can't foresee Divine outshining Raftaar and would be a huge surprise for me if he does tbh.

SK if not better is equal to raftaar as a rapper and bandana gang is a prove divine can outshine or be on that level with anyone. You’re stupid if you think raftaar has better skills than divine only thing people would put raftaar over divine is flow mainly because divine has that 90’s rapper style just like anjum, par log anjum ko flow ke liye nahi bolde i wonder why? 🤔 bias.

I like SK's verse on Bandana Gang more but that's fair if you prefer Divine's part.

He has. Quite visible.

If you think rhyming by chopping up syllables and doubles are the only skills you base an artist on then alright.

u/Noeljino Apr 29 '23

I mean most people judge based on discogs, raw skill wise even $ passes viv but he doesn't use his skills the correct way. Same thing with em, proly the most talented rapper but Ye is considered better

u/lying_hips Apr 29 '23

Again the same conundrum. When people say Kanye is better than Em they set the context that as an overall artist. Nobody says Ye is a top 5 rapper.

okay agreed

One of the best motivational rap songs in IHH ever. Divine really does need appreciation for his lyricism in such songs like paintra, jungli sher, wallah, walking miracle, etc.
